News From The Gamma Cephei Planetary System
(2011-01)
The gamma Cephei planetary system is one of the most interesting systems due to several reasons: I.) it is the first planet candidate detected by precise radial velocity (RV) measurements that was discussed in the literature ...
The M Dwarf Planet Search Programme At The ESO VLT + UVES A Search For Terrestrial Planets In The Habitable Zone Of M Dwarfs
(2009-10)
We present radial velocity ( RV) measurements of our sample of 40 M dwarfs from our planet search programme with VLT + UVES begun in 2000. Although with our RV precision down to 2-2.5m/s and timebase line of up to 7 years, ...
High Angular Resolution Imaging And Infrared Spectroscopy Of CoRoT Candidates
(2013-08)
Context. Studies of transiting extrasolar planets are of key importance for understanding the nature of planets outside our solar system because their masses, diameters, and bulk densities can be measured. An important ...
Transiting Exoplanets From The CoRoT Space Mission XVII. The Hot Jupiter CoRoT-17B: A Very Old Planet
(2011-07)
We report on the discovery of a hot Jupiter-type exoplanet, CoRoT-17b, detected by the CoRoT satellite. It has a mass of 2.43 +/- 0.30 M-Jup and a radius of 1.02 +/- 0.07 R-Jup, while its mean density is 2.82 +/- 0.38 ...
Planetary Transit Candidates In The Corot LRa01 Field
(2012-02)
Context. CoRoT is a pioneering space mission whose primary goals are stellar seismology and extrasolar planets search. Its surveys of large stellar fields generate numerous planetary candidates whose lightcurves have ...

A Long-Period Massive Planet Around HD 106515A
(2012-10)
We have performed radial velocity (RV) monitoring of the components of the binary system HD 106515 over almost 11 years using the high-resolution spectrograph SARG at Telescopio Nazionale Galileo (TNG). The primary shows ...
Transiting Exoplanets From The CoRoT Space Mission XXIV. CoRoT-25b and CoRoT-26b: two low-density giant planets
(2013-07)
We report the discovery of two transiting exoplanets, CoRoT-25b and CoRoT-26b, both of low density, one of which is in the Saturn mass-regime. For each star, ground-based complementary observations through optical photometry ...
A Probable Close Brown Dwarf Companion To GJ 1046 (M 2.5V)
(2008-06)
Context. Brown dwarf companions to stars at separations of a few AU or less are rare objects, and none have been found so far around early-type M dwarfs (M 0V-M5V). With GJ 1046 (M 2.5V), a strong candidate for such a ...
Characterization Of The HD 17156 Planetary System
(2009-08)
Aims. We present data to improve the known parameters of the HD 17156 system (peculiar due to the eccentricity and long orbital period of its transiting planet) and constrain the presence of stellar companions. Methods. ...
